Nokia Lumia 920

Nokia Lumia 920 is one of a pair of Windows 8 smartphones from Nokia, and will probably be among the very first Windows 8 handsets to market.

Nokia scored a moderate success with the Lumia 900 running Windows Phone 7.5, but the new Lumia 920 is a much improved device all around and Nokia must be hoping for greater success.

One thing that you might immediately notice is that the 920 uses a similar design styling to the Lumia 900, Lumia 800 and the N9 with quite square corners that make it look distinctive. Nokia have also added a couple of new colours, yellow and red, to make the handset stand out even more. The display (more of which later) is a subtly curved panel as seen on earlier Lumia handsets, and there are some ceramic elements for strength and durability. Overall it makes it one of the best looking smartphones on the market in our opinion.The Lumia 920 uses some of Nokia's PureView imaging technology and Carl Zeiss optics, however if you were expecting the awesome 41 megapixel sensor from the Nokia 808 PureView then you will be disappointed. However, the 8.7 megapixel unit in the Lumia 920 has several tricks of its own.. one of the biggest ones is that Nokia have managed to float the camera assembly on springs to help to counteract vibration. This means that the 920 can take smoother videos, and it also means that the phone can take longer exposures leading to clearer photographs.
